Laser-cut flat-pack holiday tree for Glowforge

thingiverse

This is the file from usedbytes, "cleaned up" in Illustrator to cut more efficiently on a Glowforge. I combined all objects' paths and color-coded them for a logical cut order. Unfortunately, there's no way to set defaults, so the text will need to be converted from cut to score in the Glowforge UI. A drinking straw works perfectly as the stem, eliminating the need for special aluminum tubes. It saves time and effort. Updated 2017-10-09: I widened the base of the star slightly to ensure a snug press fit into the tube.
